BREAKING:

Allegations surrounding Essendon Football club suggest that dumped sports science guru could be the centre of a doping allegation surrounding the Essendon Football Club.

Mark Robinson has said that It is known that Essendon players signed consent forms, for use of performance enhancing drugs, and were given directions for self-use. Essendon strongly denied this yesterday to the AFL, however the press conference today is rumoured to be a confession into the on-goings of performance enhancing drugs.

These allegations, if proven true, carry with them major penalities.

Didn't help the second half of their season.

I wonder how much it helped their first?

They looked unquestionably bulkier in 2012 than in 2011. You could even say unnaturally so.

You talking about Essendon or West Coast?

If true, would Essendon also be charged with 'bringing the game into disrepute' (in addition to drug charges)? Surely this is worse than 'tanking'.

Interesting that Watson on SEN this morning announced that the AFL would be announcing our penalties today or tomorrow; smoke screen maybe?

Our sport really does not need this. 99% of me desperately hopes this is false.

But if someone must be found guilty, Essendon is a good choice. 1% of me wants this to be true.

True!

Can anyone confirm that the sports science 'guru' at the centre of this storm - Stephen Dank - is currently employed by the MFC??

Don't even joke about that :P

I couldn't handle another [censored]-storm being flung our way.

I'm not joking. A poster over at Bomberblitz claims he is.

Sigh.

I guess if he left BECAUSE of the cheating then that's ok. Maybe.

I dream of jeanie.

Hehe. Hird slipped up and nearly said 'substances' instead of 'supplements' in the press conference.

Just reading the commentary on the presser (no sound at work).

It sounds like they are framing it as a request to the AFL to investigate, not a declaration of any wrongdoing.

Looks like Clothier is in charge.

Stephen Dank is not on the list of staff members at MFC (although Jason Taylor has finally been listed - National Recruiting Manager)....

SuperFooty: James Hird: "I'm very disappointed and shocked."

Come on Jim, pull the other leg. You didn't know?? Didn't notice that your guys "bulked up" even quicker than the WCE? Strange that everyone else did.

To be fair I don't think there were any outright accusations before this. At least none that I heard.

I remember vaguely reading about a substantially amped up pre-season resulting in significant bulking up of some players. Subsequently some of those players developed soft tissue injuries due to the strain, but I don't remember any accusations of anything other than an enhanced pre-season program.

Could be wrong though.

He's not listed on our website as being employed by the club

Ah good. I don't have to worry about buying adult nappies to protect the pants I undoubtedly would have shat in had that been the case.

    TRAINING: Wednesday 5th February 2025

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p

    TRAINING: Wednesday 15th January 2025

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    TRAINING: Thursday 9th January 2025

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie
